Desde su creacion hace 13.000 anos, nuestra pasion por la cerveza ha influido practicamente en todo, desde la religion hasta la publicidad, pasando por la arquitectura y la bioingenieria. La cerveza fue moneda de pago para los constructores de las piramides de Egipto; la primera nevera se construyo para conservar la cerveza, no la comida; las bacterias se descubrieron investigando la cerveza agria y la levadura de cerveza podria ser la respuesta al cambio climatico. En El sentido de la birra, el galardonado escritor Jonny Garrett nos cuenta con su inigualable sentido del humor estos increibles eventos e inventos que moldearon nuestra historia, llevandonos a algunos de los destinos cerveceros mas famosos Munich y el Oktoberfest, el laboratorio Carlsberg y la cuna de Budweiser , asi como a otros menos conocidos, desde una fabrica de cerveza de 5.000 anos de antiguedad hasta la artica Svalbard, donde se encuentra el bar mas al norte del planeta. En definitiva, este no es un libro sobre como hicimos la cerveza, sino sobre como ella nos hizo a nosotros.
